Crossvale, Inc. a leading provider of Process Intelligence, Improvement and Integration; and Work Stream Consulting, a leader in Process Excellence, Lean tools and metrics methodology; have joined forces to deliver SwiftACTION: Lean-as-a-Service™ solutions to government and corporate customers.

Organizations are under ever increased pressure to establish a competitive edge: increasing quality, productivity, business velocity and agility—all while lowering costs. The most difficult hurdles are identifying and validating priority areas for improvements and executing the improvement rapidly without the debilitating gambles of time, cost and momentum expenditures. Work Stream and Crossvale are leveraging their complementary strengths through Crossvale’s improvement methodology SwiftACTION: Lean-as-a-Service™ to provide agile, turn-key inefficiency identification and process improvement.

SwiftACTION overcomes the shortcomings of standalone process improvement methodologies and "Do-It-Yourself" software. A cohesive, enterprise-class solution, SwiftACTION™ integrates the best of process improvement, proven IT best practices and technology, and dedicated expert staff in a single, packaged offering. Leveraging existing systems, SwiftACTION™ delivers rapid, targeted Process Improvement while aligning expertise so that process participants, owners, and decision-makers focus on their business needs–not shouldering complex and unfamiliar skills.

"Work Stream brings significant execution metrics expertise across several key industries, enhancing our Lean-as-a-Service technologies to quickly target our customers' higher hanging problem areas. This is a unique differentiator for our solution, and simply wouldn't be effective without the talent Work Stream brings to the table" said Jason Sharp, Crossvale president. "Through our partnership, we will deliver superior agility and performance to our customers where it counts the most while minimizing their dependency on IT."

"In Crossvale, we found the right partner to provide our customers fast Process Intelligence and Improvement that sticks without heavy risk. Crossvale's SwiftACTION methodology embodies the Process-to-Technology bridge while dramatically accelerating analysis and implementation times" said Managing Partner Charles Gillis of Work Stream Consulting. "Through SwiftACTION's non-intrusive Process Intelligence, we have an unparalleled ability to model 'as-is' processes from real-time data without first value-stream mapping the world. The methodology then automates, measures and supports the re-designed, improved processes."
